What could be causing a 9 mil vibration on the I/B journal bearing of a Fluid drive coupling(turbine driven 3600 rpm)at 2400-2600 rpm range? Never had this problem before.Turbine was just overhauled and so was boiler feed pump. Misalignment is one consideration,Oil temp is roughly 160 degrees.
 
Check balance of both shaft couplings. Both should have been balanced in shop and assembled with match-marks lined up correctly.
